Good for rounding off bolt heads, no matter what the size...

Metric 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, 18mm, 19mm, 21mm cover 90% of the truck.

Good info for the 'emergency kit' to store in the back seat.

My old Suzi SJ410 and Samurai's you could basically take the whole trucks apart with a 10mm and #3 philips screwdriver.

I wonder who's spent more money in the past week or two, me or J0sh. I think J0sh actually, unless you count my travel trailer purchase this past week.

Hmmm lets see... It wasn't all in the last week but on the truck so far:
RPG Stage 3 $2500
AFE Stage 2 & LiveWire TS 5015 $1000 after shipping
Tint $140
And that's really it so far... So I'm at $3640...

i have never heard of sears not taking in a warranty on their hand tools. i think that sales guy was laying on you.

if he is still there trying to figure out what sockets to buy, we should all kick his ass

that literally made me shoot coffee onto my keyboard haha.

Also aren't all fords metric (i know the fusion and focus have been for several years) ?

everything is going to be metric because people are dumb. it's a lot easier for most people to figure out if their socket is just a little loose they need to go down in size 1mm as opposed to learning fractions. truth.

 

[Turbo95max]

metric is so much more widely used in automotive so itll be more useful.

Ive also never heard of Sears not taking warranty on hand tools.

dont forget the 7mm. also a 6 and a 5.5mm

Those sizes for sure in ur line of work. I hate the little black bastards that are sometime 7 and sometime 8mm. Ford needs to use one or the other!!! Hows the new business venture going?

As for what tools to buy, buy them all then do it again!!! One of the guys that works for me asked me to count just my ratchets the other day and i came up with 46 and that is just the Snap On. I probably have 6-8 more in other brands. Im a tool junkie for sure.

UNIVERSAL SIZE PLEASE......... sheesh...... i lose a lot of sockets because i have to have so many in there to take everything apart........ stuff rolls under a seat and i dont notice.....
